Time to Start Making Primitive Halloween Items

Posted in Crafts, primitive crafts with tags , , , , on July 16, 2008 by Cindy

I realized today that I have about 3 months until “The Ohio Sauerkraut Festival”. Around here this is the show of all craft shows, about 300,000 people come to this show each year. There is over 500+ craft booths lining the main street through the village of Waynesville. It has been my favorite of all the craft shows I’ve done for the past 24 years even though we have to get up at 3am the day of the show. We use to live down there from 1985 to 1993, so we always see old friends and neighbors that stop by our booth to visit. It is a long weekend but a fun one!

With it only being 3 months away, I need to get busy crafting and start thinking about Halloween items to make.(Chirstmas & Snowman also) Seems strange to be working on my primitive halloween goodies when it is in the low 90’s outside. Fall is my favorite time of the year, so it really isn’t that hard to start working on them. Family and friends most likely think I’m weird for having halloween items sitting out on display in the middle of summer, but having to get ready for a fall craft show is a good excuse to have them hanging out and about in my house. After all my hard work, it is nice to enjoy them before I have to pack them up and put them away in the crates until the show in October.

I’ve put a few pictures here and there in this blog of some primitive halloween goodies that I made last year . Some sold at fall shows or on eBay and some are of ones that I will be listing on eBay in the next few days. So be sure and go to eBay in the next day or so to check out my listings.

Toodles for Now.
